Search My Memory

The Fear

have you ever stared outside?
& wondered why or how.

have you ever trailed a memory?
& considered the years that have passed by.

have you ever felt the fear?
that overtakes the body
when walking through a
cemetery

did you come to the realization that one day you too will become a distant memory to the once-familiar faces you came to know & love?

have you ever thought about the erosion of your tombstone?
in which the world seems to have forgotten you
& your great-great grandchildren know nothing of you & your legacy.

have you ever felt the fear?
that one day you may forever be forgotten.

Ask yourself...
have you ever resided in these thoughts?
